Official title
VRC 316: A Phase I Open-Label Clinical Trial To Evaluate Dose, Safety, Tolerability, And Immunogenicity Of An Influenza HA Ferritin Vaccine, Alone Or In Prime-Boost Regimens With An Influenza DNA Vaccine In Healthy Adults
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Background: Influenza, or "flu", is a very common infectious respiratory disease. Researchers want to develop a vaccine against flu. Vaccines teach the body to fight or prevent an infection. When the body learns to fight an infection, this is called an immune response. In this study, researchers want to test two new vaccines to help the body make an immune response to flu. Subjects received the vaccine injections in the upper arm muscle. One vaccine, the influenza HA Ferritin vaccine (HA-F A/Sing), was given to all subjects with a needle injection. The other vaccine, influenza DNA vaccine (DNA A/Sing), was given to subjects in Group 3 by a needle-free device that uses high pressure to push the vaccine through the skin and into the muscle. Objective: To test the safety and side effects of two new vaccines for prevention of H2 influenza (flu). Eligibility: Part I: Healthy adults ages 18-47 born after 1969. Part II: Healthy adults ages 18-70, but not born in 1966-1969. Design: Volunteers were tested for eligibility in a separate screening protocol. In Part I, all subjects received injections of HA Ferritin vaccine. These subjects were not expected to have H2N2 exposure based on their age and when H2N2 last circulated in the population. Five subjects in Group 1 received one injection of 20 mcg dose vaccine at Day 0 to test if it is safe. Then, five additional subjects in Group 2 received a total of two injections of a 60 mcg dose on Day 0 and 16 weeks later. In Part II, responses were evaluated from adults born before 1966 who may have prior potential exposure to H2N2 influenza as well as adults similar to those enrolled in Part I who are not expected to have H2N2 exposure. Also, Part II compared responses to 2 different vaccine regimens. Group 3 subjects received a DNA influenza vaccine prime at Day 0 and the HA Ferritin vaccine boost 16 weeks later. Group 4 subjects received the HA Ferritin vaccine 2 times, on Day 0 and 16 weeks later.
